Editing Fort Knox (section)

=== New camp ===
The new camp was named after [[Henry Knox]], the [[Continental Army]]'s chief of artillery during the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]] and the country's first [[Secretary of War]]. The camp was extended by the purchase of a further {{convert|40000|acre|ha}} in June 1918 and construction properly began in July 1918. The building program was reduced following the end of the war and reduced further following cuts to the army in 1921 after the [[National Defense Act of 1920]]. The camp was greatly reduced and became a semi-permanent training center for the 5th Corps Area for Reserve Officer training, the National Guard, and [[Citizen's Military Training Camps]] (CMTC). For a short while, from 1925 to 1928, the area was designated as "Camp Henry Knox National Forest."<ref>''The Courier-Journal'' 15 April 1928 end</ref>
